Till CENTITII-MWH1T OF THE
SOUTH."
The March number of the Cen
tury Magazine is before us. .Like
ita predecessors it is beaatitallj
i&ustrated and is luminous with
bright thoughts presented in choice
English.
Passing orer all else tbat is ex
cellent, we come to the last leaf,
and there we find an open letter
that is so nearly in harmony with
oar sentiments that we give place
to it in this column with this single
modification: We know no netc
ftoutk. To THE Bonn, one and
Indivisible, we hare pledged our
fealty, and around it our affections
cluster with eTer increasing devo
tion. The letter is from Marion .1. Yer
dery, and is as follows :
"What of the Sorm t"
"Are we one people, or are
we not! If we are,
why this constantly recurring
qnestion, What of the South under
the coming administration of the
Republican party T If we are not
one people, where are all the boasts
of buried differences and the elo
qoent declaration of obliterated
sectionalism that have in recent
years been sounding throughout
the iaidl
"Political parties mnst always
exist, and nnder our form of gov
ernment they are certainly advan
tageous, is not positively necessary.
They serve as checks pn one
another, and hinder that wholesale
corruption in high places which
sooner or later has always resulted
in the total destruction of undis
puted dynasties.
We hare just gone through a
great political contest nothing
more, nothing less. Such battles
neoessarily involve victory and de
feat Only one side can win. In
this instance the Democrats were
defeated. So were the Prohibition
ist. But this last fact does not
agree that we are all going to
become drunkards immediately,
nor does it demonstrate that the
doctrines of prohibition are utterly
unsound.
"Now I cannot possibly see
wherein the Democratic party has
any better ground for serious ap
prehension With reference to the
country's future welfare than the
Prohibitionists. By way of remon
strating with the prophets of evil,
we might remind them of the
gloomy predictions that were so
actively circulated by disappointed
Republicans four years ago when
Mr, Cleveland led tne Democratic
hosts to victory.
"Mr. Clevelan's term of office is
about to expire, and during his ad
ministration the country has gone
on in its development and increased
in its prosperity. In a fair-minded
contemplation of General Harrison's
election to succeed Mr. Cleveland I
cannot discover any ground for
alarm. In saying this, too, I beg
to add that I am an uncompromis
ing Democrat, I have always been
such, and never expect to be any
thing else. I am a Southerner by
birth, rearing and education. It is
under the impulse of my devotion
W the South and to the Southern
people that I address this open let
ter esDecially to them.
ii '."The people are the guardians of
their own welfare and safety, ana
if nr political faction abuses the
sower riven it by the people it will
be atripoed of that power. Four
years from now the Republican
party will be approved or con
demned by the American people,
who are the makers and nnmakers
- ef all oolitic! parties of this land.
i- The South has no reason for over-
whelming apprehension in contem
nlatln the administration of Gen
era! HarrlsoB. Neither ha she any
reiaci&tla grccEj to txpeet politi
cal favors not because she is the
South, bst sic ply because she is
not on the wiantsr side. Bat let
theSooU rememter that the eanv
pai-wis not based en tht race
proliem; nor was it K contention
fce-or against States rights.
44 The South can lose nothing but
those political p Qeet now ,hef4 y
many of her worthy1 sons. She
mf ss toeeeit-of-thons." -ttat
will, of course, dipend entirely on
Ge&orx) JI&rnKQQ's regard or dis-
regariefeim service re forn. But
let u .take ike worst view of it,
and suppose that every Southern
Democrat feow in - offlce' shall be
removed xromptly. after March 4
the &KULiittheA be no worse off
thin she was for twenty years after
the far, Mi ftaieiy' she is better
able now than she was then to bear
the disadvantage.
"The fields of the South are
richer than aver with unfailing
harvests; her mining interests are
more extensively developed, and
are greatly increasing their product
of inexhaustible wealth; her man
ufacturing industries are thriving
today to a marvelous extent and
expanding constantly; her rail
roads are spreading over the entire
expanse of available territory; her
people are sttonger and happier
thaa they have ever. been. Let
Southerners turn their bands and
hearts to the vast resources, in
finite riches, and matohless beauty
now revealed in the land which the
Lord their God hath given them.
"During tbe next four years
there is no more danger of inter
ruption to the material develop
ment, industrial progress, and
financial prosperty of the New
Sooth than of any other part of the
conntry, and I do not believe tbat
the relations between the races in
the Sonth will be any more strained
or un pacific under tbe administra
tion of General Harrison than they
have been dunngthe presidency of
Mr. Cleveland.

THE UES ERAL ASSEMBLY.
44T1I DAY.
SENATE.
Tbe Senate, Lieut. Gov. Holt
presiding, met at 10 o'clock, and,
after routine business of the morn
ing hoar was disposed of, tbe bill
to incorporate the Southern Inter
State Exposition Society was, by
request, taken up and passed its
second reading and was ordered
enrolled for ratification. A bill to
amend section 2,527 of the code in
relation to swamp lands pasted its
second and third readings.
THE UNFINISHED BUSINESS,
being the railroad commission bill,
then came up on its second reading.
Mr. Kerr, in reply to arguments
in favor of the bill, said nothing
had been said in favor ot this bill
but abuse of the railroads. 'lie
addressed himself to the provisions
of section 11 of the bill and' its
cumulative remedies against rail
road corporations, its unjnstness,
its unfairness, &o. fie spoke
forcibly upou the expense of this
commission to the State, which
could not fall short of 120,000, by
reason of commissioners' and dirks'
salaries, printing and litigation.
The bill provided unlimited powers
for the commissioners, even to
legislaing. It was claimed that the
"Alliances" demanded the passage
of tbe bill. Then why does the
head of that great organization,
Sid B. Alexander, use such strong
language against this legislation.
The farmer does not want this; bill
to become a law. and u the Alli
ance will listen to the advice of
Oapt. Alexander more, ahd lees to
that of a few third lieutenants, it
would be of great good to them
selves and the State. The argu
ment was used that railroad cor
porations were thieves, robbers and
oppressors of the poor people of
this great country. But there had
been forgotten the great mag
nanimity of these great corpora
tions when they hurried their long
trains on to sorrowing, devastated,
burning Chicago, when train after
train was carrying help and as
sistance and food to crumbling
Charleston after tbe earthonoke,
when train followed train hurrying
fugitives away from the yell
fever stricken districts, passing
other long trains carrying rood,
comforts, assistance and medicines
to those who could not get away-t-
and these are the great thieves
and robbers !
Mr. LeGrahd,in favor of the bill.
said that the railroad corporations
were grinding the life blood out of
the people of the State. He be
lieved" that every member of the
Senate favored a railroad commis
sion of some character. If that
was so, how could any Senator say
there was no public demand for the
biD i He referred to : the demand
made by aresolutioq adopted ny
tbe State association or armer:
Alliances held in this city. Speak
ing on th merits of tbe bill he
thought it most tender, kind and
affectionate lor rauroaa corpo
rations. He referred to the one
tioeU it jest and reasexatle id
veryteaier la its proviaioBj to U
railroads. He read from the rpeech
of Senator Thomas, six Tears in,
la azpport of lust each a bill ti
thin, tad asked wly he eppeed tt
now. The matter ef diacriainai
tion was weU Un&ed byMf.Le
Grand. showing an unjust schedule
of trelxtt rates from LoaUviHe,
y to Kichmond, Wilmii ftca end
Charlotte in favor "ot Rich a end
and agalsxtTniaitagton'aad Char
lotte, and showing that in many
eases the local freight ratfti all
regulated by . Mr. Sot rUaa be-J
tweem Wilmington and Charlotte
to way stations la this State, when
the coamaej. Uved,: wero uoftea
nearly equal and some timet more
than equal to the rates charged
from Louisville to these eitlesT Tbe
scare about stepping railroad bond
ing and driving capital from the
State was all bosh. Georgia! with
her commission, had bnilt one-half
as many miles of railroad in 18SS
as North Carolina without com
mission had built in twenty-five
years.
Mr. Turner, of Iredell, submitted
an amendment to the effect that
not more than two ol the commis
sioner should be of the same po
litical party. It was adopted by a
vote of ayes 28, noes 22.
The biQ on its second reading
failed te pass by a vote ef ayes 22,
noee 23 Those who voted in the
affirmative were Abbott, Ay cock.
Bailey, Brock, Campbell, Leeper
LeGrand, Little, Lucas, Payne,
Fou, lieid, liobinaon, Shaw, Sills,
Smith, Toms, Turner of Catawba,
Turner of Iredell, Twitty, Williams
of Cumberland, Williams of Pitt
Those who voted in the negative
were Messrs. Banks, Barber, Ben
nett, Blair, Briggs, Brown, Cope
land, Crawford, mry, Faulkner,
Farthing, Green, Hampton, Hoi too,
Hughes, Kerr.KlngJLinebackJjong,
Lnsk, Means, Moore, Bice, Stnbbs,
Thomas, Warters, Wnite and
Wimberly 28.
Mr. fcmry moved to reconsider
the vote by which the bill failed to
pass its second reading and to lay
on the table. The motion to lav on
the tabl prevailed.

Note. In our report ol yester
day a statement was made that was
construed' by some as intimating
that the bill for the- completion of
the Governors Mansion was de
feated by the Alliance men and
Republicans. 01 course we did not
intend any such intimation; nor did
we intend to do injustice to any
one. In point of fact, as cut report
showed, quite a large proportion
of the farmer element voted for the
measure.
